Ouch! People Who Forgot The Power Of Wearing Sunscreen

Unless someone is set on getting some funky tan lines and burns, it is always a smart idea to wear sunscreen. Otherwise, zigzags, farmers' tans, and some blistering burns might be in their future.

So, do your skin a favor and don't take a page out of these folks' books; always wear sunscreen!

It looks as though this guy didn't just fall asleep in the sun, but he fell asleep in the sun with his arm slung across his body.

Now, he's letting people know that the sunscreen clearly went in the other direction if his sunburn has anything to say about it.

This right here is a great argument as to why lotion sunscreen is better than spray-on.

While the spray-on stuff is mess-free, people who use it tend to come out of the sun looking like this, thanks to the wind and other elements that make it so the sunblock never actually reaches any skin.

Not So Happy Anymore
